Reducing the size af the Default.aspx page

Post by 54x54 » Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:52 am

Hi everyone, I'm configuring the Default page for my website, the display format seem to large, also with mobile users increasingly shoping from their devices, the 870px w seems more practical, AC7 default with a very large format that I would like to reduce to 800px and centering symetrically, absolute positioning doesn't enhance my website design,.What's the better way to accomplish what I need? http://65.98.245.145/Default.aspx
Thank you, thank you

You can change the size in the body definition in style.css
body {
margin: 10px auto 0 auto;padding: 0 auto 0 auto; width: 900px; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
background: #FCFCFF url(images/bg_tile.jpg) repeat-x; font-size:12px; color:#666666;}

Your site is super fast.
What web hoster are you using and how much are you paying
if you dont' mind me asking?

You can check different screen resolutions using this cool tool
that someone on here posted a while ago:

My very thank you to you Judy (you're a Godsend) and Mike718NY for your prompt responses, judy, with your excelent tip, I got it to the size I think is better 1024px; auto. The 900px witdh i was thinking off will throw the formating css off a little and I don't want to start resizing buttons and panels, it look beautiful now, http://65.98.245.145/Default.aspx
thank you
